Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3l.-The com.
plant was received from the Chemical
National Bank of New York city, against
William Kissane, alias William X.
Rogers, by telegraphic dispatches yes.
terday, and duly filed in the United
States Circuit Court.
HISTORY OF THE AFFAIR.
After giving the particulars of the in
corporation of the bank and its charter,
it stated that on the 30th day of Au.
gust, 1854, William Kissane, Andrew
Finlay and Lyman Cole conspired to de-
fraud the company by forging check
on the Continental Bank of New York
for S60l, $50, drawn by Very & Gwynne
to the order of James Bishop, and also
by forging another check for $4,000,
drawn by John Thompson on the Amer
lean Exchange Bank and payable to
Bishops order. These checks, it is
charged, were deposited with the Chem.
ical National Bank just before the hour
of closing on that day, and Finlay, as.
suming the name of Bishop. at once
drew out $l4, $40 and left $50 of it on
deposit.
WHAT 1T FURTHER EXPRESSES.
The complaint in the suit then alleges
that Kissane, Finlay and Cole were
arrested in 1854 and in 1855, and that
$40, 500 was found on them, which was
returned. The balance, $4,32O, was
never obtained. and the bank now seeks
to recover that sum with seven per cent.
interest, which would swell the claim to
over $4,000. Cole and Lyman are
dead. The bank claims that for Kissane
to set up the Statute of limitations
would be against the laws of Equity,
and asks for the full amount. Francis
Darr attests to the correctness of these
facts. kissane has not answered as yet.

PARIS, May 3l.-The refusal of Admi.
raj Jaures to accept the office of Minis
ter of Marine is attributed to a conversa-
tion he had with Dsfreycinet, who had
told him that Cabinet headed by
Rouvier must soon fall and THAT when it
did fall he (Defreycinet) would form .
ministry himself which should include
Admiral Jaures. Barbeyat, the new
Minister of Marine, is q Senator and
was lately in the navy. His appoint
ment is only provisional. 1t is affirmed
that although General Ferrop, the Minis.
ter of War, will now preside at the CON-
ing fete at the Opera House, which is
looked forward to as q demonstration in
favor of General Boulanger; the latter
still intends to be present and in the
uniform of General. Anxiety is ex-
pressed, lest his presence may result in
some disturbance.
GENERAL FERRoN's ATTITUDE.
General Ferron upon assuming the
duties of the War Office, also issued an
order of the day, in which he says:
Like my predecessors shall pursue a
policy of military reform and shall de-
vote my whole time increasing the de.

TO CONDEMN RIGHT OF WAY.
Red w o0d,s Efforts to Make a
Railroad Opening.


REDWOOD CITY, May 3l.-A case i'm
portant to San Mateo county, and espe-
cially to the people of the San Mateo
valley, is now being tried before Judge
Head. The suit is brought by the
county to secure right of way to Ell
Coy yotte, formerly barren but now a
thickly wooded country two miles east
of San Mateo.
WHEN IT WAS STARTED.
Suit was begun two years ago at the
of Assistant United States
Treasurer Maynard. then editor of the
San Mateo County Journal, who urged
the condemnation of right of way to
the point on the ground that, being a
shipping point at deep water for which
El Coyote was the most desirable loca-
tion in the neighborhood, it was neces-
sary to the needs of this community.
INTERESTED PARTIES.
Those interested in favor of the con.
demnation believe that a competitive
freight and passenger transit to and
from Sln Francisco aud Elcotte would
assist in the building up and protection
of San Mateo. Other owners Of prop
erty objected to the course of the pro.
posed road, holding that it would injure
the fields it crossed. By it, both as
sale and as to its use, it is tacitly under
stood that when suit began, the owners
would give the company the road al.
ready built. No arrangement appears
to have been made after two years,
since the suit was begun. Unless com.
promised the ease promises to take sew
eral days and it's decision is awaited
with great interest
